Project 549-21-210

1. Q: GC is required to provide allowance for commissioning of PIV and electrical work. Section 01

45 00-3.5 calls for "Section 01 91 00 General Commissioning Requirements included in the contract, ", and this section is not included in the project specs sent out.

A: Please see screenshot of paragraph. The reference states “When Section 01 91 00 General

Commissioning Requirements is included in the contract, …” The section is not included in the contract; therefore, the requirements do not apply.

2. Q: We have the question of the discrepancy between the note on CS104 and CS116 which both conflict with the note on ES101:

Please confirm that no high-security fencing will be in this SOW, only high-security gates.

A: High-security fencing is not in this SOW only the high-security gates.

3. Q: We have three (3) PEMB Manufacturers to tell us that 20-gauge is not available (or custom) for the roof panels. It is typically used as metal decking under elevated concrete slabs. For metal roof decking, 22-gauge and 24-gauge are available, and 26-gauge is standard. The Specifications delegate the design to a licensed manufacturer with a registered Engineer but in another

Section, the Specifications indicate a 20-gauge roof panel that would be custom. Can you please clarify?

A: Our architect researched and determined that the 24-gauge decking seems reasonable, and he also found that to be the industrial standard. Our recommendation would be for the contractor to use 24-gauge for the roof decking for the canopy. Of course, the engineer from the PEMB manufacturer will be responsible for validating the connects/supports/etc. for the canopy structure are as required to accommodate the 24-gauge deck. And the contractor will, of course, submit shop drawings of the canopy for VA approval before installation.
